	Happy Wednesday, although it's my Friday.
	800 nine.
	Yeah, I have to rub it in.
	People are like, really, Hannity?
	We don't want to hear about your good day.
	We're having a rough day today.
	If you're having a rough day, I want to put a smile on your face.
	All right, so the president, just a short time ago, starting his speech in Springfield, Missouri.
	It's really, really good.
	And he mentions Houston and obviously Texas and his tax reform speech.
	And I'm listening to this and I'm saying, do you Republicans stand for anything?
	Because right now you have no identity.
	And if you don't support this plan, I think you all need to go.
	Let's play it from the top.
	Before we begin, I'd like to take a few moments to discuss the deeply tragic situation in Texas and Louisiana.
	As we all know, our Gulf Coast was hit over the weekend with a devastating hurricane of historic proportion.
	Torrential rains and terrible flooding continue to pose a grave danger to life and to property.
	Our first responders have been doing absolutely heroic work to shepherd people out of harm's way, and their courage and devotion has saved countless lives.
	They represent truly the very best of America.
	We must be vigilant.
	We must protect the lives of our people.
	I was on the ground in Texas yesterday to meet with Governor Abbott, who is doing, by the way, an incredible job, and local officials so that we could coordinate the very big and unprecedented federal response.
	In difficult times such as these, we see the true character of the American people, their strength, their love, and their resolve.
	We see friend helping friend, neighbor helping neighbor, and stranger helping stranger.
	And together, we will endure and we will overcome.
	To those affected by this storm, we are praying for you, and we are here with you every single step of the way.
	And I can speak, I know, for the people in this room every step of the way.
	To those Americans who have lost loved ones, all of America is grieving with you, and our hearts are joined with yours forever.
	The citizens of Texas and the Gulf Coast need all the prayers, support, and resources our communities have to offer.
	Recovery will be tough, but I have seen the resilience of the American spirit firsthand all over this country.
	To the people of Houston and across Texas and Louisiana, we are here with you today.
	We are with you tomorrow, and we will be with you every single day after to restore, recover, and rebuild.
	Our thoughts and prayers remain firmly with the citizens and our fellow people, people, great, great people, all affected by this tragedy.
	We're also glad to be back in the heartland with the very, very fine folks of Missouri.
	And I said to Senator Blunt, and I said to Billy Long on the plane coming in, can I say Missouri, or should I say Missouri?
	Okay?
	And they said, whatever you want is okay.
	So I said, go.
	But I'm especially pleased to be here in Springfield, the birthplace of a great American icon, the legendary Route 66.
	Who would have known that?
	This is the place where the Main Street of America got its start.
	And this is where America's Main Street will begin its big, beautiful comeback that you are seeing it right now.
	This is a comeback of historic proportions.
	You're seeing it happen right now.
	Right?
	You'll see it.
	We're here today to launch our plans to bring back Main Street by reducing the crushing tax burden on our companies and on our workers.
	Our self-destructive tax code cost Americans millions and millions of jobs, trillions of dollars, and billions of hours spent on compliance and paperwork.
	And you have seen what's happening with regulations.
	They're going fast.
	We need regulations, but many of them are unnecessary, and they are going fast.
	That is why the foundation of our job creation agenda is to fundamentally reform our tax code for the first time in more than 30 years.
	I want to work with Congress, Republicans, and Democrats alike on a plan that is pro-growth, pro-jobs, pro-worker, and pro-American.
	There is no more fitting place to launch this effort than right here in the American heartland, surrounded by hardworking men and women whose skill, determination, and drive are truly second to none.
	And by the way, before I start, Ivanka Trump, I see my beautiful daughter is in the audience.
	She's working very hard.
	I'm very proud of Ivanka.
	For many decades, Route 66 captured the American spirit.
	The communities along this historic route were a vivid symbol of America's booming industry.
	Truck drivers hauled Made in America goods along this vital artery of commerce.
	Families passed through bustling towns on their way to explore the great American West.
	And high-quality manufacturing jobs lifted up communities, gave Americans a paycheck that could support a family.
	Mr. Cook is a great example of the people that do it.
	Stand up. Stand up. Stand up.
	I think they like you.
	And provided millions of our fellow citizens with the pride and dignity that comes with work.
	But in recent years, millions of Americans have watched that prosperity slip away in the rear view mirror.
	And it wasn't pleasant to watch, especially for me.
	I would sit back.
	I was in business and I could see what was happening.
	It wasn't good.
	If we want to renew our prosperity and to restore opportunity, then we must reduce the tax burden on our companies and on our workers.
	In the last 10 years, our economy has grown at only around 2% a year.
	You look at other countries and you look at what their GDP is.
	They're unhappy when it's 7, 8, 9.
	And I speak to them, leaders of the countries.
	How are you doing?
	Not well, not well.
	Why?
	GDP is down to 7%.
	And I'm saying we were hitting 1% just a number of months ago.
	So we're going to change that around, folks, that I can tell you, and we're going to change it around for us.
	And today, a very appropriate day that this should happen, we just announced that we hit 3% in GDP.
	just came out.
	And on a yearly basis, as you know, the last administration during an eight-year period never hit three percent.
	So we're really on our way.
	If we achieve sustained 3% growth, that means 12 million new jobs and $10 trillion of new economic activity over the next decade.
	That's some numbers.
	And I happen to be one that thinks we can go much higher than 3%.
	There's no reason why we shouldn't.
	So this is our once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver real tax reform for everyday hardworking Americans.
	And I am fully committed to working with Congress to get this job done.
	And I don't want to be disappointed by Congress.
	Do you understand me?
	Do you understand?
	Understand.
	Congress.
	I think Congress is going to make a comeback.
	I hope so.
	Tell you what, the United States is counting on it.
	All right, by the way, with the President in Springfield, Missouri for stations along the Sean Hannity Show Network know that we are continuing our coverage through your local break.
	If you decide to break away, we understand.
	And for listeners, you can call the local station.
	Blame them, not us.
	All right, back to the President.
	That means getting rid of the loopholes and complexity that primarily benefit the wealthiest Americans and special interests.
	Our last major tax rewrite was 31 years ago.
	It eliminated dozens of loopholes and special interest tax breaks, reduced the number of tax brackets from 15 to 2, and lowered tax rates for both individuals and businesses.
	At the time, it was really something special.
	Since then, our tax laws have tripled in size, and the tax code itself now spans more than 2,600 pages, and most of it is not understandable.
	Tax rates have increased, and special interest loopholes have crept back into the system.
	The tax code is now a massive source of complexity and frustration for tens of millions of Americans.
	In 1935, the basic 1040 form that most people file had two simple pages of instruction.
	Today, that basic form has 100 pages of instructions, and it's pretty complex stuff.
	The tax code is so complicated that more than 90% of Americans need professional help to do their own taxes.
	This enormous complexity is very unfair.
	It disadvantages ordinary Americans who don't have an army of accountants while benefiting deep-pocketed special interests.
	And most importantly, this is wrong.
	First and foremost, thank you.
	First and foremost, our tax system should benefit loyal, hardworking Americans and their families.
	That is why tax reform must dramatically simplify the tax code, eliminate special interest loopholes.
	And I'm speaking against myself when I do this, I have to tell you, and I might be speaking against Mr. Cook, and we're both okay with it.
	Is that right?
	It's crazy.
	We're speaking, maybe we shouldn't be doing this, you know?
	But we're doing the right thing.
	And allow the vast majority of our citizens to file their taxes on a single simple page without having to hire an accountant.
	Second, we need a competitive tax code that creates more jobs and higher wages for Americans.
	It's time to give American workers the pay raise that they've been looking for for many, many years.
	In 1986, Ronald Reagan led the world by cutting our corporate tax rate to 34 percent.
	That was below the average rate for developed countries at the time.
	Everybody thought that was a monumental thing that happened.
	But then, under this pro-America system, our economy boomed.
	It just went beautifully right through the roof.
	The middle class thrived, and median family income increased.
	Other countries saw the success.
	They looked at us.
	They saw what is America doing, what's happening with the United States.
	And they acted very swiftly by cutting their taxes lower and lower and lower and reforming their tax systems to be far more competitive than ours.
	Over the past 30 years, the average business tax rate among developed nations fell from 45% to less than 24%, and some countries have an unbelievably low tax, including, by the way, China and some others that are highly competitive and really doing very well against us.
	They are taking us, frankly, to the cleaners.
	So we must, we have no choice.
	We must lower our taxes.
	And your senator, Claire McCaskill, she must do this for you.
	And if she doesn't do it for you, you have to vote her out of office.
	She's got to make that commitment.
	She's got to make that commitment.
	If she doesn't do it, we just can't do this anymore with the obstruction and the obstructionists.
	If we don't get tax cuts and reform approved, potentially the biggest ever, we're looking for the biggest ever.
	Jobs and our country cannot take off the way they should.
	And it could be much worse than that.
	But at a minimum, they won't take off the way they should.
	The Dems are looking to obstruct tax cuts and tax reform, just like they obstructed so many other things, including administration appointments and health care.
	Not one vote.
	We got not one vote to try and fix health care and get rid of Obamacare.
	The strategy of our economic rivals has worked.
	They made their taxes lower and far lower in many cases than ours.
	And jobs left our country.
	Large corporations changed their business models by exporting jobs to other countries and then shipping their goods back to the United States where they'd make massive profits and they wouldn't be paying tax to us either.
	So we lost the jobs.
	We lost the taxes.
	They closed the buildings.
	They closed the plants and factories.
	We got nothing but unemployment.
	We got nothing.
	Other businesses, even classic American brands, switched their headquarters to foreign countries.
	Because of this and other reasons like weak borders, America remains stuck in the past.
	Although I have to tell you, we have General Kelly here today, and we stopped 78% going up to 80% on the border traffic coming through in just a short period of time.
	He's done some job.
	Whole different world out there right now.
	Today, we are still taxing our businesses at 35%, and it's way more than that.
	And think of it, in some cases, way above 40% when you include state and local taxes in various states.
	The United States is now behind France, behind Germany, behind Canada, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, and many other nations.
	Also, with these countries and almost every country, we have massive trade deficits, numbers that you would not believe.
	But this administration is going to fix that one by one.
	We're fixing it.
	We're working right now on NAFTA, the horrible, terrible NAFTA deal that took so much business out of your state and out of your cities and towns.
	And we're working on it.
	Let's see what happens.
	Mexico is not happy.
	But as I told them, you made a lot of money for a lot of years and everybody left you alone.
	We've got to change this deal.
	And hopefully we can renegotiate it.
	But if we can't, we'll terminate it and we'll start all over again with a real deal.
	So when it comes to the business tax, we are dead last.
	Can you believe that?
	So this cannot be allowed to continue any longer.
	America must lead the way, not follow from behind.
	We have gone from a tax rate that is lower than our economic competitors to one that is more than 60% higher.
	We have totally surrendered our competitive edge to other countries.
	We have totally surrendered.
	We're not surrendering anymore.
	All right.
	So the president in Springfield, Missouri, today, warning Claire McCaskill, either she gives you your tax cuts or you should vote her out of office and saying, OK, Congress, do your job.
	You haven't done so well so far, and it is the proper challenge.
	All right, when we come back, we have a busy day today.
	Pretty much he just continues the speech a little bit longer and he outlines his tax proposal, which you heard a lot of there.
	We'll touch on that.
	We'll touch on his comments on Hurricane Harvey.
	We've got some of the heroes of Hurricane Harvey, people on the ground, people donating.
	We'll get to that.
	Diamond and Silk will make you laugh today.
	We continue our investigation into the Debbie Wasserman-Schultz case.
	Well, that's all coming up.
	And your call is 800-941-Sean as a number.
	When we come back, the news of the day and your reaction straight ahead.
	All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
	An incredible speech in Springfield by the President.
	We'll get back to that in a second.
	We have great stories of neighbor helping neighbor coming up in the course of the program.
	I want to remind you, you know, we all have documents, we all have firearms, or many of us do, and we have important papers.
	All need to be protected.
	And it's not something you're going to put in a, well, some type of lockbox at your local bank or whatever, the safe deposit box.
	You're going to need a safe at home.
	Everybody needs one.
	And long before they ever became an advertiser, I've been using Liberty Safe.
	I did my own research and background and investigation.
	And I now have five of them at my house, and I love them.
	And they work for me, and I protect everything that's important.
	And you could do it for you.
	And now's the perfect time to buy because you can save big at Liberty Safe with their Lincoln series.
	But you also will get a whopping, get this, save a whopping $538 on their Colonial 23.
	It's a gray marble that includes an E-Lock, an outlet kit, and a dehumidifier.
	All right.
	So that's one of their best safes they make.
	And you can get 12 months' interest-free payments, zero down, zero APR, and they even offer safes for as low as $20 a month, $20 a month.
	And you know what?
	It saves everything that is important to you and protects the things that are of value and keeps your firearms safe and secure the way they should be.
	So remember, when you buy, buy bigger, because most people run out of room.
	That's my advice.
	When you go to Liberty, it's LibertySafe.com.
	Go there today.
	They also have local stores around your area.
	Look them up on the internet and you can find them.
	But the best place to go, their Labor Day sale ends on September the 7th, LibertySafe.com.
	You know, I really, I've got to say this.
	We are very blessed with some of the best, nicest people, supportive advertisers.
	And when we come under fire, I mean, it's unbelievable how our advertisers rally around you, this show, this audience, because you've been so loyal and supporting them.
	And without your support, believe me, there are more than a million people that want to see their show go away.
	And one person that also has taken heat just because he supports the president is the inventor of my pillow.
	And, you know, you can go to mypillow.com, 800-919-6090.
	It's the best pillow I've ever had.
	And I just become friends with Mike Lindell.
	He's the inventor of my pillow.
	And I have my pillows everywhere.
	I have to go my pillows.
	I literally need four of them.
	I surround myself, two for the back of my head, one for the top, and one on the side for my arm.
	I know it sounds ridiculous, but I sleep better than I ever have.
	And I'm not the best sleeper, but I've gotten better than ever.
	Anyway, so I was just texting with Mike yesterday, and he goes, Yeah, you know, I just want you to know I think I'm just going to send pillows over.
	And then I found out he sent 60,000 pillows.
	60,000.
	And it's one of the just, you know, the many, many stories of people.
	Samaritan's Purse, they're on the ground.
	All of the Cajun Navy guys, Waco Navy guys, military experts using their training to save lives.
	Incredible stories of neighbor helping neighbor.
	And I just asked Mike Lindell to come on, tell us quickly what he's been doing.
	60,000 pillows.
	That is extraordinarily generous of you.
	And you know what?
	I bet you it's going to end up for a lot of people to be the one comfort when they lay their head down at night.
	If they've never had a MyPillow, they're going to be in love with it like I am.
	Yeah, Sean, it's been a blessing for my platform to be able to even do this.
	And we're heading down.
	I'm actually sending a crew down to help, too.
	And we're at 60,000 pillows we're sending initially here.
	It could end up being a lot more.
	But another thing I wanted to say, if I can, last summer when I met the president, I was telling him about my foundation where it's a pass-through energy where my pillow and Mike Lindell pays all the overheads.
	So any money donated to these causes was going to be 100% pass-through with no overhead.
	And we were going to launch that up in Minneapolis and in Detroit.
	Well, now with what's happened in Houston, we're launching that right now as we speak on your show.
	So if anybody goes to the LindellFoundation.org and wants to donate, you can rest assured 100% of your money with no overhead.
	No overhead cost at all.
	That's almost unheard of for any charity.
	Yeah, zero.
	I'm covering every part of it.
	If you put in $5, $5 is going to go to someone in need down there in Houston and surrounding communities.
	And my board, we're working with organizations in the area to make sure that everybody gets helped.
	And we're going to try as much as we can to get as much funds as we can to help out.
	But I just thought it'd be great to announce this now where people can know.
	And nowadays, people with foundations in touch.
	You don't know how much your money really gets there, but we pay all the overhead.
	Well, I want to help you with your foundation.
	We've helped out Samaritan's Purse, and we got another group that we're helping.
	And, you know, I just, I mean, I watch every day and I see what everybody else is doing, and I'm just blown away by everybody's generosity.
	And, you know, I'm sure that 60,000 pillows are not inexpensive.
	But I will tell you this, it's going to make a difference for all those people that are sleeping in conditions that are less than desirable.
	Listen, I need a pillow to fall asleep.
	I mean, I just do.
	Well, hopefully it'll be a little bright spot in there in this whole, in this, all these other tragic things that are going on down there.
	And to get sleep for anything is so important.
	And like I say, this is just the start.
	We're sending 60,000 down, and my crew is going to be there on Friday morning.
	And we're going to be working all over with all different communities all around Houston and the other and the other, Rockport, and all the ones that we're hit hard.
	Well, anyway, you know, it's an honor to become a friend of yours.
	Let's stay in touch over the weekend.
	Let me know if there's anything I could do for your LindellFoundation.org.
	Yeah, LindellFoundation.org.
	Basically, we're just using it as a tool.
	We're going to have the thing up there with Houston right now as we speak.
	You put your, whatever you put in, it goes right to the people in need.
	There's no, like I say, I'm even paying every fee, every overhead.
	You're paying all the overhead costs.
	That's amazing.
	Yep.
	So I just wanted to be taking advantage of these tragics.
	Well, in case people forget, which they might, I just linked it to Hannity.com now so that it'll be easy access.
	Mike Lindell, you're a great friend, a great American that's extraordinarily generous.
	And I know our friends down in Houston and surrounding areas are going to be very, very happy that you're sending that.
	And we'll stay in touch throughout the next week.
	I mean, this is going to be a long-term rebuild.
	And our thoughts and prayers are obviously with all those people.
	Thank you, sir.
	Well, thanks, Sean.
	It's an honor to be on your show, and God bless you and everyone.
	And we'll talk soon.
	All right, my friend, Mike Lindell, mypillow, mypillow.com, and, of course, 800-919-6090.
	We'll link his foundation on the website.
	You know, I want to just go over some things.
	So the president started out today.
	Do you know that President Obama was the first president in American history, on top of 13 million more Americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty, the lowest labor participation rate since the 70s, worst recovery since the 40s, lowest home ownership rate in 51 years, and doubling the national debt?
	More debt than every other president before him combined.
	Do you know he's the only president, though, that never reached 3% GDP growth?
	Do you know the president, just by doing what he's done, personally picking up a phone, encouraging businesses and changing the business environment and ending burdensome regulations?
	I went through a whole list on TV the other night, last week.
	Do you know that we now have 3% GDP growth in the country?
	And the second quarter was revised upward from 2.6 to 3%.
	Now, repealing Obamacare is going to help that more.
	And if they can pass the economic plan seven brackets to three, middle-class tax cuts, which are desperately needed, if we could get corporations at a low tax rate and repatriated money that are trillions overseas that people can't bring into the country because of the confiscatory rates,
	if that corporate money gets spent, the multinational corporation money gets spent, and factories are built here, and manufacturing centers are built here, and energy, the president now has opened up, and we move towards energy independence.
	That's going to be millions of high-paying career jobs for people.
	There's no telling.
	I mean, this country will be infinitely better off in every way imaginable because economics will impact people's view of the country and life.
	It's so important.
	Now, that was one of his major campaign promises, that he wanted to get above 3% GDP.
	And he set the goal and he's reached it.
	And he's done it, frankly, without a lot of help from Congress.
	I mean, I got to tell you, this is if Congress would just get off their Trump-hating bandwagon, we'd be so much better off.
	And everybody forgets the forgotten men and women.
	It's sort of like the pettiness of the news media.
	Oh, let's talk about shoes.
	I mean, shoes, I've got a hole in my shoe.
	I found out two days ago.
	Will you confirm that for everybody I have a hole in my shoe?
	Because you're the one that would not stop talking about how is it possible I have a hole in my shoe.
	Yes, I can confirm that Sean Hannity has a hole in his shoe.
	This is not okay.
	All right, stop.
	I can't stand hearing that.
	It drives me nuts.
	No, but the point is, I didn't know I had a hole in my shoe until you pointed it out.
	And I'm not changing my shoes because the hole isn't big enough that it actually hits my foot and hurts.
	So why do I need a new pair of shoes?
	Why?
	So I can show everybody at the latest, greatest.
	Look at my MA's bag.
	Look at my Louis Vuitton.
	I don't care about that stuff.
	I just couldn't care a rip.
	Why don't we get a red bottom of my shoe and I'll say it's really expensive?
	I mean, why don't we do that?
	I've never understood that.
	You're laughing because you know it's true.
	Come on in.
	I'll color it for you right now.
	You got crayons in there?
	You know, the Houston mayor ignored the 2016 warning that this storm would be a monster.
	He's the only person that I can see politically that did it.
	You know, we'll have other great stories.
	To get through something as traumatic as what the people in Texas have gone through, you need three components.
	You need the people, neighbor helping neighbor.
	We've seen more inspiring stories than I've seen since 9-11.
	Remember 9-11, how inspiring that was.
	The worst moment in our country's history, and you see the best out of people.
	You see it down in Texas.
	And it just is inspiring.
	It just shows what we're capable of as a country, as a society.
	But the media only wants to focus in on hating Trump and Melania's shoes.
	And I'm thinking, you idiots, people are dying.
	People are suffering.
	They just lost everything they care about in life.
	And that's all you people want to do is hate on the president.
	And I'm thinking, and it's just like all of the distractions about Russia and he's going to start nuclear war and racist, racist, racist.
	All of that serves nobody except themselves and their effort to delegitimize, overturn an election, which is basically what they wanted to do.
	By the way, U.S. missiles, missile defense warning shot at North Korea.
	Trump administration fired a warning shot in North Korea's direction this morning, conducting a missile defense test halfway across the Pacific that demonstrated the capacity to take out Pyongyang's medium-range missiles.
	This is beautiful.
	What a great move.
	Anyway, the test was done from the USS John Paul Jones and comes a day after North Korea fired a ballistic missile over Japan.
	Now, the test, using standard Missile 6 guided systems, intercepted a medium-range ballistic missile target.
	You know what's next?
	I'm going to tell you what's next.
	The next time Kim Jong-un or one of these future times he fires a missile, we're going to shoot that sucker out of the sky.
	Then let's see how tough he is.
	One of the saddest things we've learned this week that nobody paid attention to is the Obama administration was likely hiding information about Iran illicitly ferrying militants into Syria on commercial aircraft to promote the landmark nuclear deal.
	That's how dumb Obama was.
	But nobody seems to really care about that.
	Now, later in the program, I think this is one of the biggest unreported stories out there, and that is the very odd indictment of this IT guy that was working for Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
	And when you look at this particular case and the guy who had all the money, you've heard his name a million times before.
	But anyway, Imranwan is his name.
	Luke Roziak, who's with the Daily Caller, and he's been really good at this.
	Why did she keep him on the payroll?
	Why did he have people that had been fired from McDonald's on the payroll?
	Ethan, is something funny in there?
	Is there anything I could do for you?
	Because you could go take a walk as far as I'm concerned if you're going to be obnoxious.
	No, no, no.
	Now, look at him.
	His face is beat red.
	You don't like getting called out.
	All right.
	I didn't have the guy's name off the top of my head.
	I admit I'd.
	Awfully sensitive.
	You could have just moved on, but no, you don't.
	No, why should I come out?
	Look at his face.
	It's tomato red in there.
	I'm just teaching him a lesson so he doesn't do it again.
	Only red because you called me out.
	No, you were red before that laughter.
	I'm Irish.
	Okay, I'm Irish too.
	My face is just tan.
	You know.
	All right, we're going to get into all that Luke Roziak today.
	Oh, we've got the debate of a century.
	Katie Hopkins and Geraldo Rivera, they're going to debate.
	Oh, Kathy Griffin now pulls back her apology on the severed ISIS pose head of Donald Trump and blood.
	And then we've got some of the heroes of Texas are going to join us today.
	And we will check.
	Oh, Diamond and Silk are going to put a smile on your face.
	They're always fun.
	All right.
	It's my Friday, and don't get people.
	Oh, you're off again.
	I don't take a lot of vacation.
	I don't have a lot of vacation to take.
	This is pretty much it till Thanksgiving.
	And one week, that's it for the whole summer.
	Everybody else in media has been off this week.
	And I've been doing my job.
	And I'm in tonight.
	All right, we got some stories, some heroes that we will be introducing to you today.
	We also have an investigation when we get back.
	Why is the media ignoring the Debbie Wasserman Schultz IT scandal?
	Well, on top of the fact that they're biased.
	Also, we've got Katie Hopkins, Geraldo Rivera, and so much more.
	Diamond and Silk join us today on the Sean Hannity Show.
	Straight ahead.
	Let me just be very clear.
	At no point during my tenure at the DNC was I contacted by the FBI, DHS, or any government agency, or alerted or made aware that they believed that the Russians, an enemy state, wasn't shooting on our network.
	At no point.
	And I am a member of Congress who had the ability to sit down and be briefed in a classified setting.
	Even Director Comey testified publicly that he wished that he had gone to the top of the organization.
	Secretary Johnson says the DNC rebuffed the help that they offered.
	You're saying that no one ever could be able to do that.
	Respectfully, Secretary Johnson is utterly misinformed.
	That is simply not accurate.
	And much that has been written about the timeline of events by the New York Times, the Washington Post, that document through multiple sources, including me, that the FBI and other federal agencies did virtually nothing to make sure that when they were aware,
	at the point that they were aware that there was or concerned that there was an intrusion on our network by the Russians, that they did virtually nothing to sound the alarm bells to make us aware of that.
	And they left essentially the Russians on our network for more than for almost a year.
	Some of these folks in Congress right now would love to see us people as second-class citizens.
	Some of them in Congress right now in this two-point movement would love to see you and me, I'm sorry, Chairman, hanging on the truth.
	Some of them right now in Congress are comfortable with where we were 50 and 60 years ago, but it's a new day for the first person.
	And the person who left Congress really agreed with the DC.
	All right, glad you're with us, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	Hour two of our program today.
	And I want to get back into something that the media is forever and always going to ignore because it seems like they've got their agenda and only their agenda and they're not going to pursue truth or to get information out to you, the American people.
	Now, there's some very strange and bizarre things happening as it relates to Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the handling of this IT guy.
	The IT guy was caught double billing.
	She keeps him on the payroll for nearly a year.
	And then we see that people that apparently have no IT experience that were working at McDonald's in a car wash or a car dealership rather, they actually have the ability to get IT payments when we have no evidence they ever had any IT experience.
	Anyway, we've got an update on all of this.
	This former IT aide that is suspected of stealing the equipment and then you got the broken government hard drives in his garage still has an active secret email account on his house computer system.
	Now this is the guy that's funneling 300 grand to Pakistan and trying to sneak out of the country and get the heck out of here.
	And even though he had an ankle bracelet, according to reports.
	Now, anyway, so he has a secret email.
	He's been banned from the congressional network because of the criminal investigation and indictment into alleged cybersecurity violations.
	The daily caller Luke Roziak has been all over this story.
	And Imran Awan's still active email address is linked to the name of a House staffer who specializes in intelligence and homeland security matters for Indiana Democratic Congressman Andre Carson, according to documents and emails that actually show Awan used the address in addition to his standard HouseGov address.
	Now, the mail was sent via Gmail files and the name of the account holder as Nathan Bennett, who, if you look online and you looked at his profile and LinkedIn and some of these other places, it says his individual legislative portfolio covers national security, foreign affairs, and includes work on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
	The member Bennett works for Carson, is a member of both the House Intelligence and Homeland Security Committees.
	And Carson is the ranking member of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Emerging Threats, which oversees the office of Director of National Intelligence.
	And the subcommittee oversight then extends to the National Counterterrorism Center in terms of information sharing programs.
	So none of this makes sense.
	And you've got to believe that there's got to be some type of security implications here.
	And just like in the case of Hillary Clinton, we've got more government hard drives busted, and we've got more issues that involve the potential security breaches because we know in Hillary's case, 33,000 deleted subpoenaed emails, bleach bit, acid-washed, busted up.
	And what did this guy know?
	Why does he still have access?
	When's the last time he accessed this account?
	Luke Roziak from investigative reporter with the Daily Caller is with us.
	How are you, sir?
	I'm good.
	Thanks for having me, Sean.
	All right, let's go into this very, very bizarre happening in this other email account that this guy had.
	And do we know how recently it was used?
	I don't know how recently it was used.
	I know that he's been using it for years, and it's 123 at mail.house.gov, which is just like totally bizarre.
	Normally, of course, you have first name, dot last name.
	And people say he was using this government email address to basically intimidate them.
	It seems like who knows who's emailing you from the house.
	If it's 123, he could tell you he's Paul Ryan.
	Who knows what he's doing?
	So I would assume that he probably still has access to it, considering it's still in existence, right?
	Right.
	So when the police banned him in February 2nd, his real email address, Imran.awan, when you send emails to that, it immediately started bouncing back.
	When they cut him off, that means you can't send emails to it.
	With this address, you can continue, even today, to send email addresses to 123 at mail.house.gov.
	It doesn't bounce back.
	The email address is still active.
	What do you think about Debbie Wasserman Schultz after this guy was caught double billing?
	And it appeared that when you hire people that work at McDonald's and a car dealerships, I can't imagine they were working there if they had this great IT experience and background that they should have access to some of our intelligence secrets.
	Right.
	And in addition to being investigated for double billing, and authorities have mounds of evidence to that effect, the investigation is also into a secret server, taking lawmakers' information and putting it somewhere where it shouldn't be.
	And lawmakers also have plenty of evidence on that.
	So, you know, that's all it's all known.
	This has been going on since 2016.
	The cops ban him in February 2nd.
	And Wasserman Schultz continues to employ him, even though he was banned from touching the network.
	And she made up a bunch of reasons like saying, oh, he's going to plug in printers, and somehow that doesn't constitute working on the network.
	And I think the question in everyone's mind is: hey, if you still have this guy poking around the Capitol building, coming to work and being on the premises, is there a risk here that he's going to still access the network?
	Is he going to interfere with the investigation somehow?
	How is it possible the AP, the New York Times, ignore the Wasserman Schultz Democratic IT scandal?
	How is that possible?
	And the next question I have is: you know, how is the DNC?
	We remember after the WikiLeaks documents that came out just before the DNC convention, remember that was a big deal, and the information was a huge reveal.
	And how the DNC handled it?
	Remember, they wouldn't turn their servers over to the FBI.
	They refused to.
	Do you think these are related?
	I think the response here, I think that's a great point.
	The response is there's so many parallels.
	Basically, what we have now here is authorities have a lot of evidence.
	They have all these vouchers, equipment being billed fraudulently, no-show employees, a secret server, but they haven't been charged with all that stuff just yet.
	And one of the reasons may be that members of Congress are not cooperating.
	After all, they're the victims here on the surface.
	So, to build a case that they stole from, they stole data and money from members of Congress, that may require the testimony of those members.
	And it's not clear.
	In fact, there's some reasons to believe, significant reasons to believe, that members are protecting this guy and they're not wanting to criticize.
	But, you know, for those other media outlets out there and anyone who's questioning this story, I mean, make no mistake, when you delve into the details and you look at the public records and you talk to the appropriate authorities, this is very real stuff.
	It's a real cybersecurity scandal on the Hill.
	And just as Democrats have been talking about how bad hacking is, and we've been hearing about that for the last year, and they're right.
	Hacking is bad.
	Hacking is serious.
	And by the same effect, I mean, that's what we have here, and it should be treated with an equal.
	Well, it's not being treated that way.
	And frankly, you're out there on your own as always.
	When you see the deletions and the acid washing of top-secret classified special access program information of Hillary and the destruction of devices and the bleach bit used and all of this, and then you see similarities.
	The Democratic National Committee won't allow the FBI to look at their computers.
	And then this I.T. guy who double-billed and has all these unqualified people seemingly working for him and is making a fortune.
	And then he ends up with government hard drives smashed in his garage.
	Is there any way you can connect those two items, or we don't know yet?
	In other words, is it the same information they're trying to get rid of?
	Well, we don't know what's on those hard drives, but we know that he tried to hide whatever it was.
	We know that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has gone so far to hire an outside law firm to make sure they don't see what's on a laptop that was found connected to this investigation.
	And we know that his wife fled the country, and she's not coming back when her arraignment data said she's not going to show up and she's going to become a fugitive.
	And they've got an early trial date on Friday.
	So we're going to see what happens there, not a trial date, excuse me, the preliminary hero.
	Well, stay right there.
	Luke Roziak is breaking this Debbie Wasserman Schultz IT story wide open, especially as it relates to Imran Owan.
	Andy McCarthy, I thought, had a particularly interesting piece on National Review about this, about the strange indictment of Debbie Wasserman Schultz IT scammers and what impact all of this may have on national security.
	We're going to delve deeper into this.
	Also, Dana Rohrbacher on Hannity tonight will do what the rest of the media won't do.
	Is it possible that the whole Russian narrative was an 11-month conspiracy lie?
	Well, he seems to think it is.
	So we'll ask the questions the media won't.
	10 Eastern tonight.
	All right, as we continue, Luke Roziak is with the Daily Caller.
	Mainstream media has been ignoring, I think, one of the biggest scandal stories of all time, and that is Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her IT guy that clearly was overpaid, clearly double-billed, clearly had people working for him that weren't qualified.
	And now our friend Andy McCarthy over at National Review writes a piece, The Strange Indictment of Her.
	Did you read that piece?
	Yeah, I did.
	I thought he made some very good points.
	Well, what do you think?
	I mean, if you have a naturalized Americans, you're investigating a husband and a wife.
	They believe have scammed the federal credit union of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
	You catch them in several lies, false statements about their qualifications for a credit line.
	And the strongest part of the case involves the transfer of money to their native Pakistan.
	And it looks like Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been able to sort of manipulate the media into not seeing this for what it is.
	Yeah, I think that's exactly right.
	I mean, the timeline, and they try to deflect, and they try to with the way the media is.
	No one's got the attention span to follow the facts.
	But when you look at the timeline, this investigation, they were tipped off that they were the subject of a criminal investigation in late 2016.
	These guys own like seven houses.
	They start frantically selling them off, taking fake loans, taking out the retirement under false circumstances, and wiring the money to Pakistan right after they realize they're the subject of this investigation.
	Now, he makes the case there are grounds to suspect blackmail.
	What's your reaction to that?
	So the way that members have been hesitant to condemn, to call out, to turn over evidence in this case and to assist with the prosecution of Imran Alan is extremely unusual.
	For example, Andre Carson, he's a member of the intelligence committee from Indiana, one of two Muslims in Congress.
	He's on the Homeland Security as well as the Intelligence Committee, and he employed Imran.
	So his office is connected to this fake email address, 123, this secret email address.
	So I went over there this week to tell them about this secret backdoor into the network, and they didn't seem to care.
	They didn't tell House authorities.
	There's no evidence of them frantically trying to find out what happened.
	Why is this guy using my intelligence staffer's name?
	Did he get his identity stolen?
	How could our former IT guy have done this?
	They didn't say any of that.
	None of these Democrats will say a bad word about Imram, who is, again, they're his victims.
	He stole their data.
	He stole their money.
	And why did they let this guy's wife leave the country when there were many reasons to arrest her at that point?
	Right.
	So, you know, what they've been charged with is just the cover-up, not the crime.
	It's just a way to keep them here.
	But it remains to be seen whether prosecutors will bring those charges or not, and whether what the holdup here is needing the cooperation of members of Congress.
	Now, you're obviously following these cybersecurity issues closely.
	We have Dana Rohrbacher on TV tonight.
	Do you have any thoughts about Julian Assange, who was the person that would know the DNC email league says it's not Russia?
	He has the proof it's not Russia.
	Is it possible the whole country fell for a lie in a conspiracy for nearly a year?
	Well, the only thing that I know is that the DNC under Washman Schultz wouldn't let the FBI see that server.
	And just a couple weeks later, she was told that her own IT guy on the House was the subject of a criminal investigation.
	And she yelled at the cops and said that the cops had framed her IT guy out of Islamophobia.
	And the facts don't support that.
	The facts support that this guy is a liar and he's pulling all kinds of schemes.
	So, you know, we see a real pattern here between the two, and it's something's not right.
	Something's not right.
	This is not going to end well for the liberal media and the Democrats.
	That's my prediction.
	All right, Luke Goroziak, I get to meet you in person tonight.
	You're on Hannity on the Fox News Channel, and we're also investigating Dana Rohrbacher's meeting with Julian Assange.
	And does Julian have evidence that it was never Russia in terms of Trump-Russia collusion and the releasing of the emails?
	We'll get to that 10 Eastern tonight, Hannity on the Fox News Channel.
	We'll take a quick break.
	We'll come back.
	We'll continue on the other side.
	We got two people, everyday heroes of the hurricane down in Texas, and they've been trying to use their monster truck to get people out of those areas that have flooded.
	Unbelievable stories of neighbor helping neighbor.
	We'll continue that.
	And then we have the debate of the century, the gobby one.
	Katie Hopkins and Geraldo Rivera and Diamond and Silk stop by.
	And what is Mike Friday today?
	We'll continue.
	All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
	Write down our toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	It's 800-941-Sean.
	You know, I've been saying all week as we've been watching this whole tragedy unfold in Texas, if you want to be successful, and I know now we've, what, lost 19 people confirmed, maybe more soon.
	But if you want to be successful in any type of recovery effort, you really need three components.
	You need A, what we've watched in Texas, and that's neighbor helping neighbor, and just people standing up, taking responsibility, helping people out, lending their boats, getting on their boats.
	Then you got the professionals that come in and volunteer their time and their expertise and their training, like the Cajun Navy and the Waco Navy, you know, ex-military guys, ex-law enforcement people.
	And they've now mastered the art of saving people in situations just like we've seen down in the Houston area, the Texas area.
	And they've all been amazing.
	The next component is you need competent state and local government.
	And with the one exception of the Houston mayor who told everybody to go back to their homes and wouldn't take the governor's call at the time, you had full and complete state, local government cooperation.
	Then you had great coordination between the state and the White House and the federal government and the president.
	They're sending 30,000 National Guard troops down there for what is going to be a very difficult transition for so many of these people that lost their homes.
	But to me, the most inspiring thing was at the height of this in the moment, it really takes the neighbor helping neighbor part to make this really successful and to prevent as much death as possible.
	You can't prevent the damage, but you can help the people.
	That was my biggest complaint about Katrina when I saw an entire yard of empty buses.
	And I had Jesse Jackson on the program.
	I think it was TV or radio.
	I don't remember after the fact.
	And this conversation actually took place.
	I said, well, you know, he's blaming George W. Bush.
	And I'm saying, well, what about the Democratic governor and the Democratic incompetent mayor?
	You know, Ray, this is going to be a chocolate city naked, you know, who's eating, you know, food in a hotel and watching dead bodies float by with lion Brian Williams at an area that wasn't even flooded and how incompetent he was.
	I mean, he couldn't even keep his police department on track to stay on their job because he wasn't doing anything.
	And there was no leadership on the ground.
	And then I said to Reverend Jackson, Reverend, why do they have all those buses there?
	I mean, it's just the greatest evidence of how incompetent government can be.
	And he goes, well, hey, what are they supposed to do with the buses?
	And I said, put the key in.
	And then he goes, then what?
	Turn on the engine.
	And then what?
	Go pick up the people that need help and get them out of harm's way.
	And he goes, where are you supposed to take the people?
	And I said, away from the hurricane.
	And that's a true story.
	And that didn't happen in this case.
	And I know that everybody, you know that Trump did a good job because the only thing they can criticize is the fact that his wife was wearing high heels out of the White House, not even on the ground in Texas, where she had sneakers on.
	I mean, it's so petty.
	It's so despicable.
	And then they say, well, you didn't show enough empathy, though.
	I don't know how you show empathy by not when you show up, you coordinate, you do your job, you get FEMA on the ground, 8,500 employees, federal employees, 30,000 National Guard troops.
	I mean, what did they want him to do to go and catch the rain in a bucket?
	It's so ridiculous.
	And I said last week, if Donald Trump cured cancer, it wouldn't be enough for those people that hate him, especially in the media and in the Democratic Party.
	It's so despicable.
	People are dying and they're worried about high heels.
	That's how pathetic these people are.
	And there's no going back for them.
	They're just, they're so gone and devoid themselves of empathy, reality, human understanding, and compassion.
	Anyway, Travis Hertzing is with us, as well as Aaron Nierbon.
	And they're just two everyday heroes, two of the many of Hurricane Harvey.
	Travis has been out there using his monster truck.
	We showed some of these last night on Hannity to get out into the Houston area and rescue those who are stranded.
	And Aaron and his organization, Troops Direct, they've been contacted by the Texas National Guard.
	They're donating supplies to the troops, you know, 750,000 bottles of Gatorade, 200,000 rescue blankets, 800 cots, waterproof boots and gloves.
	We had my buddy Mike Lindell from MyPillow.
	He donated 60,000 pillows yesterday, and he said more is coming as needed.
	And anyway, welcome both of you to the program, but you're such a key component to making this work.
	Travis, let's first talk about you.
	And we saw these monster trucks.
	I'm assuming that you can ride this thing and not worry about getting stuck in these flooded streets, right?
	Yes, sir.
	We don't have an issue with the majority of the deep water.
	Most of our majority of our big five-ton army trucks can take roughly five feet of water.
	I mean, that's pretty amazing.
	So that means you can use the truck and go pick up people that are in need of assistance, correct?
	Yes, sir.
	That's what we've been doing.
	And how many people do you think you rescued in the course of this whole thing?
	I would say anywhere from 200 to 300 in my one truck.
	In your one truck.
	Wow.
	Yes, sir.
	Now, let me just play around a little bit.
	Why am I thinking, you know, you pull up to a house and there's people in need and they see your monster truck and they're like, oh, you know, there's got to be a little bit of humor in there that they're getting in a truck that they've never thought they'd be driving in in their life.
	I know, and we try to lighten the mood as best as we can, even with how devastating it is to most of these people.
	We crack jokes, you know, once you get in the truck, make sure you see backs and trade tables.
	They're in the upright and locked position.
	And we just try to lighten it up as best as possible.
	And everyone, luckily, has been extremely thankful that we've been there to pick them up.
	Yeah.
	Well, I want to just say on behalf of those people that you did save and the fact that you just dug in and you're doing everything possible.
	And you literally changed the lives of all those people that you took the time to go rescue.
	And, Aaron, I've read a lot about what you guys are doing over Troops Direct.
	And apparently, you met with the Lieutenant Governor, who I think is a great guy, along with the governor, Dan Patrick.
	And you've been rescuing people with your off-road truck.
	And you've also been giving all these supplies over.
	Well, hi, Sean.
	Again, first I want to say thank you for all of your support that you've given Troops Direct today and also in the past.
	And President Trump's done a phenomenal job there in the area.
	And what Troops Direct is doing specifically is working with commanders with the Texas National Guard.
	Even prior to the storm hitting, Sean, they were contacting us, and we're a nonprofit organization.
	And they were asking us for equipment they knew they would need even before the storm hit.
	And yes, like you said, they have requested Gatorade.
	And we have shipped almost a million bottles of Gatorade in the last 24 hours.
	200,000 rescue blankets, waterproof boots, 10,000 cliff bars.
	Strike Force Energy, a Navy CEO-ran operation out of Virginia, is giving us energy packets that we're shipping out.
	Printers for their communications centers, 800 cots, all these items that the Texas National Guard needs, Sean, to rescue people, recover the lost, unfortunately, and reestablish infrastructure.
	They're contacting us and we're supplying it because they just can't get it.
	Yeah, I got to tell you, first of all, it's amazing.
	And thank God we got 30,000 National Guard troops going down there.
	And, you know, I brought this up with the governor last night, Aaron.
	I said, you know, I know we're still in rescue and rescue recovery mode now.
	And the rebuilding is going to take a long time.
	There's no ifs, ends, or buts.
	Look, my years in contracting, all those houses half underwater, they're done.
	You've got to knock them down.
	You've got to start at the beginning, and you probably have to treat the foundation, you know, so you don't have the mold issue.
	And, Sean, you know, I'll tell you, one of our members of our board of directors lives in Houston, and she has been stuck in her home since the weekend, literally living on the second floor of her home.
	And we've been reporting to her everything that we're doing for the guard.
	And I said, what else can we do?
	She goes, just support the guard.
	They are going to be the ones to save us.
	Support the guard.
	Support the guard.
	And so that's what you've been doing.
	Yeah, and those guys are all amazing, too.
	And I think if we really look objectively, when you consider the historic amount of water that has hit this area, and these are areas that nobody ever thought would flood ever.
	And a lot of these people don't have insurance.
	So the amount of money that's going to be needed for the rebuild, and I know the American people will step up and help our family down in Houston.
	That's what we do.
	That's who we are.
	You know, in spite of everything and all the vile disagreements, you know, I mean, at the end of the day, I'm not asking the money I donate to Samaritan's Purse, whether it's going to a liberal or a conservative.
	It's so stupid at this point.
	You want to help your fellow neighbor out here.
	You're exactly right.
	And, you know, one of the majors by rank with the Army that we spoke to down there, I said, how long are you going to be down there for?
	And he goes, it's going to be months.
	And one thing I know about our support for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and everywhere else is the public gives immediately, Sean.
	They want to help this week.
	But we've got to remember, these great Texans and those in Louisiana and Alabama and everywhere else that are going to be hit by this are going to need support for the long haul.
	And our budget at Troops Direct, we're looking at at least $100,000 of support just for the guardsmen in the next 30 days.
	And so that's why I'm asking you, Sean, to go to your audience and ask that they make a tax-deductible donation to Troopsdirect.org so we can get these guardsmen what they need to help these people.
	I'll tell you what I've donated to Samaritans, Samaritan's Purse.
	We have that up on my website, right?
	We have the RED Cross up there, I assume, and we're going to add your group.
	I'm going to send you guys, or wire you guys, some money later today.
	Linda will work out the arrangements for you.
	But look, I don't want or expect people to go into debt to help out the people of Houston.
	I mean, you've got to manage your money, you got to take care of business yourself at home, but maybe it's just one night out at dinner that you were planning and you just won't go to that dinner or something, whatever it is.
	If it's 10 bucks, 50 bucks, a hundred bucks, it's going to make a big difference if everybody just puts in a little bit.
	I always say if, if your listeners can each give $10 every listener listening today could give $10.
	Just that one meal, one couple cups of coffee.
	What we can do for those guardsmen, protecting and recovering those people, would be phenomenal.
	Yeah, I agree, and Travis, tell us a little bit more about the group of guys you have.
	Rick Leventhal was showing us all those monster trucks that are down there and all the boats that we're gearing up for Louisiana.
	I mean that's where the Cajun NAVY has been amazing.
	The WACO NAVY has been amazing.
	Oh yeah Sean, these guys have been, I mean honestly, the most outstanding stand-up citizens I've ever met.
	99% of the people that are at our shop we just met them two days ago and they have given every single minute of their waking day helping, doing anything that they can.
	We have big trucks coming from all around the state, North Texas, East Texas, Louisiana.
	Trucks with boats big, just lifted mud trucks, monster trucks, everything like that.
	Everybody possible is doing what they can to help.
	I mean it is an all hands-on deck situation and anyway listen, I want to say I want to say thank you to both of you.
	You're both amazing human beings and what you're doing is just inspiring to all of us.
	Thank you for what you do and we'll make sure to put those links up on Hannity.com and I know our audience will be extremely responsive, as they always have been extraordinarily generous over the many years when when they see their fellow neighbor in need.
	So thank you all for what you're doing.
	Okay, and stay on the line and I'll work on that wired transfer to you guys.
	Okay, stay right there.
	By the way, thank God I went to a bank today and thank God I don't have to go to a bank very often.
	What a pain in the neck.
	Good grief.
	Quick break, right back.
	We'll continue.
	All right, 800-941, Sean, a toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program?
	Let's get to our busy phones.
	We'll go to Houston, Texas.
	We'll check in with Phil is with us.
	Phil, hi, how are you?
	Welcome to the program.
	Has anyone checked in on AJ, big time AJ from Houston?
	He's doing all right.
	I don't know if anyone has.
	What's up, Phil?
	How are you?
	I'm sorry, what's going on down there?
	You okay?
	What happened to you?
	I'm good.
	Well, on Sunday, woke up.
	My family was okay, but I saw in the news that just a few neighborhoods down, they weren't.
	So we grabbed a buddy and grabbed the canoe with one paddle and tried to go see what we could do.
	And it was frustrating because there's a lot of people out trying to help, but we just didn't know where to go.
	And so I called the deputy who I would go to church with and just said, hey, give me an address.
	Tell me where to go.
	So we did.
	And we spent the rest of the day in that one neighborhood trying to get people out.
	And at night when they shut us down because we didn't have lights or anything, I knew I was leaving so many people behind on the second floor of these houses.
	So I just went on Facebook that night and I just said, come on, guys, we're Texans.
	Let's get a couple of boats.
	Let's get a couple of friends.
	Let's meet at the LDS church in the neighborhood.
	Let's go help people.
	And my phone blew up all night.
	I had people calling me from everywhere.
	I had deputies and sheriffs calling me and an amazing lady who used to be his deputy dispatcher and started saying, you're God, people, you got help.
	We got addresses.
	So by morning, we had over 50 volunteers and 20 boats at our church.
	The constables, local constables, found out what we were doing and started bringing evacuees over.
	The members of our church immediately started setting up a shelter and then other faiths nearby found out what's going on.
	They started donating their services.
	We started coordinating efforts with the other churches.
	And by yesterday, we were dispatching out of our little church over 57 boats for three different sheriff's districts.
	It was amazing.
	You know what?
	That is, it's so inspiring to hear such goodness and greatness coming out of the American people.
	I mean, you know, when push comes to shove, we've seen this before.
	I mean, we're a divided country.
	We were divided after the 2000 vote.
	George W. Bush is president.
	I mean, they were hating on George W. Bush as much as they are Trump in many ways.
	And 9-11 happens and our world shifts and our world changes.
	And for a while, I mean, we actually got along and we understood what radical Islamic terrorism was all about.
	Sadly, now too many people have just forgotten what matters.
	And I think especially when if the media is focused on high heels and they're focused on shoes at a time when people are dying and help is needed and all hands on deck are needed, then you know we got a big problem in this country.
	I mean, the president gave a speech today on tax reform and his tax plan that was unbelievably amazing.
	And the things he said today about Houston were incredibly inspiring.
	And it doesn't matter what he does.
	As I said, if he cured cancer, they wouldn't care.
	Anyway, 800-941, Sean is a number.
	Quick break, right back.
	We'll continue.
	You were sorry at the time.
	You apologized.
	You were very upset.
	Are you no longer sorry for it?
	Correct.
	I'm no longer sorry.
	The whole outrage was a BS.
	The whole thing got so blown out of proportion.
	And I lost everybody.
	Do you know what engrave it?
	That picture.
	Holding out the save head.
	No, it's a mask, coveting tomato souls.
	But do you not accept that was a little bit over the line?
	No, you're full of crap.
	Stop this.
	You know this.
	Stop acting like my little picture is more important than talking about the actual atrocities that the president of the United States is committing.
	No, I don't apologize for that photo anymore.
	And I think the outrage is complete BS because we have real things to deal with.
	Absolutely.
	I don't think I will have a career after this.
	I think he, I think he, I'm going to be honest, he broke me.
	He broke me.
	And then I was like, no, this isn't right.
	It's just not right.
	And I apologize because that was the right thing to do and I meant it.
	And then I saw the tide turning and I saw what they were doing and I went, oh, okay, they're trying to spin this and make it about Karen.
	And obviously that was never my intent.
	I would never want to hurt anyone, much less a child.
	But I started to see what was really happening.
	And then it was a mob mentality pylon.
	And so many people have expressed to me personally across the country at my shows.
	They're scared.
	So, yeah, I don't know what's.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I have to say.
	I have no idea.
	Teepee, what do you mean by firing him?
	It surfled me.
	Here.
	It's censorship is what it is.
	I'll say it one more time.
	I just worked there for 10 years.
	Look, there's a bunch of people on New Year's Eve.
	There's a bunch of old white guys trying to silence me.
	And I'm just here to say that's wrong.
	Ah, isn't that sad?
	You know, I was one of the few people that said, don't fire Kathy Griffin.
	And she has a right to be as obnoxious and rude.
	Now, it does cross a line, and I don't even think it's really that blurry if you're doing things and saying things that could be a potential threat to the President of the United States.
	I mean, you do have Johnny Depp talking about, oh, when's the last time an actor assassinated the President of the United States?
	Or Robert De Niro saying he wants to punch him in the face and many other incidences of threats and violence.
	Anyway, here to discuss all of this from every aspect of it.
	We have Katie Hopkins, the gobby one from the Daily Mail, UK, and Geraldo Rivera, Fox News host, legal analyst, and colleague and antagonizer of Sean Hannity in all of real life, and even a friend.
	I mean, if he'll admit it publicly, which I know he will because he's my brother.
	Geraldo, I'm very sensitive to the idea.
	I mean, her whining and crying and taking back what she said and my little picture.
	And if this can happen to me, it can happen to anybody.
	I'm not, you know, which is the real Kathy Griffin here.
	First of all, you are my brother from another mother.
	Second of all, as the father of five, I wanted to pick up that screaming baby.
	I wanted to shout out, someone pick up that baby.
	It was hysterical.
	Those tears.
	You know, I'm just like, you're an overpaid actress and frankly not even that funny.
	But, you know, I'm very torn.
	But, you know, we have a lot of latitude in this country.
	A lot of, you know, you can make fun of everything.
	You can make fun of anything.
	The one thing you can't do is to threaten the life of the president of the United States.
	It's a simple statute.
	You cannot do it.
	You can't threaten the life of the president or the first family.
	It's a federal violation.
	It brings in the Secret Service, as Kathy learned to her great discomfort.
	They came, they interrogated her.
	It's a very serious matter.
	Some things are just, I mean, maybe you laugh at it.
	Maybe it was a joke that some people found amusing.
	But I don't see anything funny about it.
	Well, what about Madonna?
	And you know Madonna well, but with her phony British accent, Katie Hopkins.
	And she says, you know, I dream an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
	Now, I can only imagine if I ever said that, Geraldo, who's one of my best friends, would call for my firing.
	If Obama was in office.
	Yeah, well, of course.
	And you should be fired for something like that, my darling.
	I was there.
	Those words at the women's marches in Washington.
	And to be honest, the crowd went crazy.
	They love that stuff.
	And so I think with Kathy Griff and with Madonna, I think these individuals, these lunatics, these idiots have the right to say whatever they think.
	Don't really think she should even be fired or lose her job for it.
	But I do think that we have to accept the consequences of the stuff we say.
	And we can't moan about it when we don't like the consequences.
	So if I tweet something and I'm fired from something, that's my problem.
	I still got to say it, but I have to accept I may well lose my job.
	Or in Kathy's case, she lost some friends over it and her kind of gigs around the country for her so-called comedy.
	But what I don't like about Kathy Griffin and Madonna, for that matter, is the idea that they suddenly blame the fact that they're women.
	They suddenly blame that there's misogynists out there.
	It's suddenly because they're female.
	No, it's not because you're female.
	It's because you're an idiot.
	And above that, you also have ginger hair, and that's inexcusable.
	Oh, my God.
	How harsh.
	Oh, ouch.
	By the way, we are not responsible for what guests say on the Sean Hannity show.
	Opinions expressed, or those who are guests and the guests don't know.
	I am not.
	That's such a cop out.
	I'm such a woman.
	I don't own it.
	You don't need to own it.
	I'll own it.
	I know you're owning it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So they're not.
	Listen, I happen to be Irish, and there's a lot of people with red hair in my family.
	If you don't mind, you know, ease up on my people, will you?
	Do not my people, me.
	You don't have people and you don't have friends.
	So don't like claim that stuff.
	Just because you paid this guy to come on and pretend to like you.
	He's not your friend.
	I'm not your friend.
	And no one likes you.
	Even your producer, Linda, like, she completely hates you.
	She's just doing this for penance.
	Wow.
	Get over your holidays.
	Wow.
	Get over myself.
	I love you.
	I have no idea what color my hair is.
	You and me both.
	Gray.
	It sounds just for men for me and Geraldo.
	Now, why are you being so mean today, Katie Hopkins?
	Because you, Mr. Hannity, are going on holiday for five days.
	I haven't been on holiday yet.
	And frankly, if I'm working harder than you, then you're going to get a tough time.
	With all due respect, I don't think a lot of people work.
	Get your baby noise playing.
	Go on.
	Yeah, this is a Sean Hannity moan about his life.
	It's so hard being aware of it.
	Wow.
	No, I have nothing to complain about, Katie Hopkins.
	No, you do not.
	I have a holiday coming up, one of the rare holidays I have in my life.
	I'm sorry if it offends you, Celia.
	This is not okay.
	No.
	Geraldo, you know, but let me go to, you know, we've been talking a lot about these Antifa people.
	Why did it take so long to get a single Democrat to say what I've been saying, and that is there are violent groups of people.
	And even Nancy Pelosi validating that they existed in Charlottesville when the president said it, everybody went insane.
	But they did exist.
	That's just a fact.
	We've shown the video a hundred times.
	You've seen it.
	But the video was the difference.
	The video in Berkeley over the last week is what I think put it over the top.
	It was uncontrovertible, incontrovertible, rather.
	It was indisputable.
	It was there, you saw it was the Antifa people perpetrating all the violence, and they made President Trump's case, the Charlottesville case, for him.
	But I have to say this about the Trump family in all seriousness.
	They are so deeply unpopular with the mainstream media that anything they do that can be ridiculed will be ridiculed.
	Witness what happened with Melania's shoes yesterday, where you had the president of the United States doing the right thing as healer in chief, going to Texas in the midst of this catastrophe.
	And what was everybody fastened on, at least in the initial stages, Melania's high heels.
	So and ruthlessly.
	But the thing is, you can make fun of the high heels.
	That's fair game.
	Well, why is it fair game?
	No, I disagree because if Michelle Obama, well, I don't remember her going to Sandy Geraldo, and both of us had a lot of friends that lost their homes in Sandy, and I don't remember her being there, and I remember Chris Christie with his big hug of Barack Obama.
	My point is that there is so much latitude, so many things you can make fun of, whether it's distasteful or not.
	But you cannot, going back to our original discussion, threaten the life and well-being of the first family.
	That's where she stepped over the bottom of the bottom.
	But what if Sean Hannity said, oh my gosh, look at what Michelle Obama's wearing.
	What would happen to me?
	Well, you would, but you are in the problem you face when you wake up every morning.
	It's just like the President of the United States.
	You know, that 70% of the punditry is hostile to you.
	70%.
	99%.
	You fight back.
	You are, I think you would have, I say this, and I say this unabashedly.
	If you existed with the power you have now during 1972, 1973, Richard Nixon would never have been forced to resign.
	You would have protected the office of the presidency against that rinky-dink, you know, second-rate burglary.
	You would have, and the cover-up that followed, you would have fought against it.
	You would have protected him.
	You now have changed the equation.
	Now there's comedy on both sides.
	Now there's power on both sides, even though you know that if you were in the House of Commons, you'd be in the back bench because of the liberal.
	I don't know if I take all that credit, but I will say this.
	What has been thrown at this president is unprecedented.
	And you have five major forces.
	You know, if you're going to, here's the guy trying to help people.
	People are dying and they're talking about stilettos and high heels.
	It's so petty and it's so despicable and so out of context and reality of what real lives and suffering are going on.
	It drives me nuts.
	We'll even bring Katie back in the next segment, although she's beating me up today.
	800-941 Sean is on number.
	You want to be a part of the program?
	More with Katie Hopkins, the mean one, and Geraldo Rivera.
	Straight ahead.
	And as we continue with Geraldo Rivera, Fox News, Katie Hopkins, the Daily Mail, and Katie's being particularly mean to me, but we're talking about where there might be limits on freedom of speech.
	You know, the one thing that really stands out in my head is, you know, all of these threats collectively about dreaming of blowing up a White House, punching the president in the face.
	When's the last time an actor assassinated a president of the United States?
	And then a severed, bloody head in an ISIS pose by Kathy Griffin.
	And, you know, I'm just torn on it because I think it's right at that line where any reasonable person would recognize that that is a specific threat.
	And it certainly delegitimizes and dehumanizes the president.
	And that could inspire crazy people to go do whatever they're going to do, Katie.
	I think so, too.
	I also worry that tomorrow is the start of what I would call the Google purge, you know, where they're going to close down accounts on YouTube, which I guess is the same kind of conversation.
	We would be very happy if YouTube shut down all of the sites that ISIS are allowed to put their material out on.
	But what we're seeing, of course, is a shutting down of conservative YouTube accounts.
	We're seeing them being demonetized.
	I think two of the lovely ladies, is it Diamond and Silk, I think they've encountered problems.
	And I think that's what I worry about, is where that line is between freedom of speech and then the other way, which is where we get censorship of the Internet.
	And that's a curious place for us to find ourselves in 2017.
	Geraldo, what are your thoughts on that?
	These are really profound questions because you and I both know ISIS is evil.
	And we both know that they trigger sells all around the world through the Internet.
	But how do you possibly monitor that?
	In that regard, I have to say, Sean and Kathy, that I err in favor of censorship.
	And I'll tell you why.
	The Internet has allowed a network to be established no matter how hideous The people who are having the conversation, it allows for the most potent and malignant recruitment that you can possibly imagine.
	It is an extremely effective tool.
	It can negate a trillion-dollar defense operation for 50 cents.
	And I believe that if, for instance, the KKK wanted to talk to the KKK via the internet, let them talk on KKK.com, you know, where it is clearly delineated.
	You know exactly what you're in.
	Rather than infiltrate, rather than disguise, I think that it is incumbent on YouTube, which is Google, and Facebook, and all the rest of it, to monitor this very, very potent line of communication.
	If they had the internet, can you imagine in the Second World War, you know, everybody would have known everything that was going on in the camp.
	If we take the example from this week, where, you know, neither you nor I would be a supporter of any of these things, but what we're talking about is whether they should have the freedom.
	Daily Stormer, so that would be the publication that these are the Nazi people, right?
	Correct.
	But their publication, the Daily Stormer, was pulled from the internet.
	The guy that hosts it said he was pulling it all.
	So the Cloudfair site that hosts it pulled the hosting of it.
	Is that fair then?
	I think the Daily Stormer should have a requirement that if you're a Daily Stormette, then I want a list of who's using this.
	Yeah, but instead they pulled the whole thing.
	I mean, see, you can say anything you want to whomever you want as long as it doesn't break the law, like threatening the life of the story.
	But no, they pulled the whole thing.
	I want to know who you are.
	I want to know who you are.
	I don't want a fourth column column in my background.
	Let me ask you a question.
	You said it's fine that we have censorship, you're pro-censorship for ISIS.
	None of us are disagreeing with you, but then they've now censored the Daily Stormer.
	I'm not a subscriber, nor are you, I'm sure.
	But should they censor the Daily Stormer?
	Where do you stop with your censorship?
	Just the subject.
	Let me define that.
	I'm going to subscribe to the Daily Stormer.
	I want a list of the subscribers to the Daily Stormer.
	But you're censorship.
	It's wonderful if you were to send it to them as well.
	And by the way, what do we do, Geraldo, when the leftists are in power and they want a list of everybody I talk to, including you and Katie?
	But why not give it to them?
	Why not?
	I mean, Sean, you have no secrets.
	I don't, but I thought we had first.
	But what about privacy protection?
	You've got to regulate this stuff or the terrorists will use the Sean.
	Why are you friends with this guy?
	I mean, really?
	Listen, I never said I agreed with him.
	Hey.
	Listen, I think his mission in life is to poke and prod me.
	He belongs to you.
	I just want censorship.
	My mission in life is a lot of fun.
	I do not want censorship.
	I do not.
	He's your friend.
	Oh, my God.
	We're going to put you two back together when I get back from holiday.
	Holidays.
	I take so many holidays.
	You need a holiday, Warren.
	Your life's so hard.
	You have to talk on TV and the radio.
	Oh, my gosh.
	I'm going to make you sing.
	I'm going to make you sing the next time you are back.
	All right, Katie Hopkins.
	Geraldo.
	Geraldo will see you on TV, but we won't see Katie.
	Thank God.
	Quick break, right back.
	We'll continue.
	This is my Friday because we've got the big holiday weekend coming up.
	We need these holiday weekends occasionally.
	We don't get enough of them, enough time off.
	But they are two of the best, the funniest, kindest, sweetest people you'd ever meet in real life.
	And they love their president, and they're very outspoken.
	And they speak out with something that is just too rare today, which is an amazing sense of humor.
	For example, listen to my friends Diamond and Silk here.
	But let's get to Antifa.
	Do you think Antifa should be labeled as a terror group?
	I absolutely do.
	The tactics that they're uses is out of ISIS playbook as far as I'm concerned.
	We live in a country with laws.
	We have a police.
	We have police that police us, that protect and serve.
	We don't need Antifa acting like ISIS in our country.
	That's right.
	Why do you say they act like ISIS?
	Well, because they wear masks, they wear black masks, like ISIS-like.
	They go around here bloodying up people, beating people up, beating people up, intimidating, manipulating in order to dominate.
	And that's not right.
	It's wrong.
	That's an ISIS-like ideology to us.
	And then they're wearing all of this black, and then they're raising a black flag.
	That seems a lot like ISIS to me, and they need to be stopped.
	They need to be deemed a terror group, just like the KKK and the neo-Noxi.
	Be safe like that!
	Get back!
	Get that!
	ISIS!
	ISA!
	ISIS!
	All right, I think my best moment with Diamond and Silk were when they were actually on this program singing Florida, Georgia, line with me in studio.
	Diamond Silk, welcome back to the program.
	How are you?
	Oh, thank you.
	Thank you for everyone.
	It's doing great.
	Everything good?
	You missed me?
	Wasn't it fun to hang out?
	I miss you.
	I miss you a whole lot, but everything's going good.
	Now, you never got back to me because when you were in the studio in New York, I thought I sent you to my favorite restaurant.
	We went to your favorite restaurant.
	It was fabulous.
	We had a wonderful time.
	Then we stopped.
	Now, what did you get to eat?
	Oh, let me see.
	Silk, I know she had her big old juicy steak.
	I ordered onion rings.
	It was a lot of food.
	It was a lot of food, Sean.
	Very well.
	Yeah, well, isn't that?
	Listen, it is a lot of food, but it's a special occasion kind of place.
	And you guys being in town is a special occasion.
	All right, let me start with your thoughts on everything that's been happening in Houston.
	And like everything else, the people that don't like our president are out there attacking him, and they're now attacking the first lady because they didn't like her shoes.
	Well, you know what?
	I think it's really a sad day in America when you have people that they just want to attack.
	Listen, I am happy to see that the president and the first lady went down.
	Unlike Obama, he didn't even go to Louisiana when they had a hurricane.
	And I didn't remember Michelle going to Sandy to New Jersey when Sandy hit.
	So the deal is get off of our president and get off the first lady.
	I think they did a phenomenal job going to Texas.
	I mean, it's just so petty.
	There's no substance behind any of these attacks, and it seems all they ever want to do is attack him.
	All they want to do is attack him.
	But see, listen, your haters is who make you greater, Sean.
	And see, they only smear him because they fear him.
	They know he's going to do great things, and that's what they're upset about.
	That's right.
	All right, let me get both of you because when you do these videos that go so viral, you do it in a way that is, I guess, extemporaneous.
	It's not like you write out every word, it just comes out, right?
	Right, right.
	All right, so I'm going to give you a topic, and you guys do a commentary.
	Ready?
	All right, attacking the first lady when people are dying in Houston.
	Well, this is okay, but let's go ahead and let's go with it.
	This is not the time to be attacking the first lady when we have people that don't have a home, like homeless, that have no jobs, that don't even know where their next meal is coming from.
	What we need to do is we need to stand behind the people of Houston, Texas, of Texas to make sure that they know that we as Americans have their back.
	That's right.
	Well, get off the president and the first lady back, and let's have the great people of Houston, Texas.
	And Texas, let's have their back.
	And leave her shoes alone.
	Because I like the shoes, you like the shoes.
	I love the shoes, yeah.
	You know, people were making fun of me the other day because I guess who was the one in there that saw that I had a hole at the bottom of my shoe and was making fun of the hole?
	Really?
	Oh, it was Linda.
	That's who it was.
	Linda made fun of the fact.
	What did you say to me the other day?
	You said, you know, you have a hole in your shoe.
	I said, that's a rich man for you.
	Holes in his socks and his shoes.
	Well, I have holes in my socks because of Marley.
	Marley, I take my socks off and she runs all over the house.
	I have a hole in every sock I own.
	She takes every one of them.
	And then, guess what?
	Well, let me ask you a question.
	Why would I?
	But, you know, this is just part of my personality.
	I don't feel like going out.
	Number one, I hate shopping.
	Number two, this pair is very comfortable.
	Number three, I didn't even know I had a hole in the shoe.
	So if it's not bad enough that I feel it, what's the point?
	Why should I get a new pair of shoes?
	I agree with you, Sean.
	I agree.
	Everybody has their comfortable panties and different things that they have.
	Oh, geez.
	They have it all.
	I don't have a comfortable pair of whatever there was that you mentioned.
	I have no comfortable pair of that.
	I can tell y'all, they're all the same to me.
	And I use Tommy John.
	They all look the same.
	They feel the same.
	And I put a new pair on every day, obviously, but they're all the same color and they all look the same.
	I think that's too much information.
	But it's all about what floats your book.
	What makes you happy, honey?
	Well, it makes that.
	All right.
	So here's the thing I want to ask you.
	Have you two ever done anything professionally speaking?
	And would you ever consider doing anything like going on the road and doing, you know, doing like a team thing together?
	Because you guys, I bet the crowds would be massive, and I bet people would love to come out and see you in person.
	And you could put a routine together and be out there.
	I'd love to do it with you.
	Absolutely.
	We would love to go on the road, Sean.
	You just gave us the details and we'd be there.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	And where did you all start out with this?
	How did this start happening?
	Well, you know, back in 2015, the president came out and announced he was running for president.
	I was watching it.
	This is Diamond.
	And I called, took, I said, girl, cut on your TV.
	Donald Trump is announcing he's running for president.
	I saw what I was doing.
	I turned on my TV.
	She called me back halfway through.
	She said, girl, she said, this is going to be the next president of the United States.
	That's right.
	And we started defending him because the media started throwing him under the bus, calling him out of his name, and we didn't look at it.
	Do you take a lot of heat?
	Many of my friends that are black conservatives, African Americans, they take heat because they're conservatives.
	Do you take a lot of heat?
	Oh, we take a lot of heat.
	But again.
	By the way, how insulting is that?
	Isn't that insulting?
	The more we will educate, we will let them know you can no longer vote for a system that keeps handing you crumbs.
	It was okay for us to vote for the businessman, the person that had the master plan that can truly make this place great again.
	And that's what we did.
	Amazing story.
	Thank you.
	800, Diamond and Silk.
	We love having you on the program.
	800-941-Sean is the toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program?
	They're amazing people.
	They're so good.
	And you love them the most.
	You just like them because they agree with you and not with me.
	You agree with me on most everything anyway.
	Not even holes in your shoes, I don't.
	What do you want me to do with the holes in my shoe?
	Not have them there.
	Now, look, I'm in no.
	This is not okay.
	All right, stop.
	Take that up.
	Here's what I want.
	Nobody's believing that I have a hole in my shoe.
	It's a pretty big hole.
	Well, I'll let you send it out on my Twitter account.
	I'll take a picture.
	But I don't feel the hole.
	You will one day.
	So your attitude is just because I can afford new shoes, I should have new shoes.
	When you put new shoes on, they hurt.
	No, my attitude is when there's a hole in the bottom of your shoe that could be penetrated by something on a disgusting New York City street that you should get a new shoe.
	But it's not totally penetratable.
	It hasn't gotten.
	Any second now.
	I look forward to that.
	You know what I'd like to do?
	Do they still have shoemakers out there?
	People that repair shoes?
	They do.
	Maybe I should get like a new sole.
	Right here, there's a lovely gentleman down the street.
	Do you ever go to him?
	Of course.
	Here's the thing.
	I don't give a rip.
	I don't care.
	They're comfortable.
	And I don't, you know what I don't want to pay attention to in life?
	I don't want to wake up on any given day and say, oh, what should I wear today?
	Oh, what shoes should I put on today?
	I have to say.
	Oh, yeah, because that's the kind of guy you are, Sean.
	I mean, your fashion statements just scream.
	I spent a lot of time on this.
	Okay, exactly.
	I have 10 pairs of jeans.
	I have a couple of pairs of shoes.
	do have one nice pair of shoes for like special occasions and that and then i have those occasions where you won't wear that Then I have those options.
	I have sneakers.
	Yeah, the occasions where I have to dress up in a suit and go to the White House.
	I don't wear these.
	I don't wear the whole shoes to the White House.
	When I've interviewed the parents.
	I'm very happy to hear that.
	Anyway, 800-941.
	Do you agree with me?
	Do you all agree with her or me on this?
	No, you're cheap.
	I mean, if you.
	No, I'm not cheap.
	Am I cheap?
	Hey, man, you.
	No, you're not cheap.
	You can't be wearing shoes with holes in them.
	Not you.
	If any of you needed the shoes, I'd buy them in 10 seconds.
	I need lots of shoes.
	Let's talk about that in the break.
	All right, 800941, Sean.
	All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
	Hannity tonight, 10 Eastern on the Fox News channel.
	The left politicizing a tragedy.
	Really?
	Focused on shoes and people are dying and losing everything they have.
	We'll have full, complete coverage of all of that.
	Kellyanne Conway, Senator Ted Cruz, will update us on the rescue relief for Texas.
	Also tonight, a Hannity investigation.
